−
'''Auxiliaries''' are the noncombatants of the fleet.

−
= Auxiliary (Military) Description =
 
−
Many are not armed, but experience says some '''auxiliaries''' do face combat and need to be capable of at least defending themselves.

| Transport and provide fuel for other ships.  Some contain purification plants, and most have fuel cutters whose purpose is to transport fuel to other vessels.  Ofttimes the fuel cutters have fuel scoops which allow them to restock tankers from local gas giants.

| Provides transport for provisions, parts, weapons, and other materials for the fleet.  When equipped with special modules they can also transport troops.  The largest can be used to even transport smaller vessels such as [[Fighter#SBD|SBDs]].

−
| These vessels combine both the tanker and replenishment functions into one platform.  Based on the [[technology level|tech level]] 13 modification of the TF-13 tanker.  Additional prototypes of the TT-14 and TT-15 were produced, but did not show sufficient advantage over the TT-13 and weren't produced in quantity.

! <span id="TD">Transport (TD)</span>
 
−
| The purpose of these vessels is to provide transport for troops and their equipment.  Although they usually carry defensive weaponry they are not intended to engage in combat.  If they have too, their focus is to get the troops off beforehand.  The ships carry a number of smaller vessels including [[Assault Transport |assault shuttles]] to move troops to their bases or the battlefield.  These vessels are seldom found without the company of an escort.

! <span id="TE">Fleet Tug (TE)</span>
 
−
| Fleet tugs are used to provide mobility to structures and vessels with limited or no movement capability.  They are use to deal with damaged vessels as well as the wreckage following a battle.  Such ships tend to have very strong skeletons and propulsion systems, and good computers capable of calculating the ballistic of both passive and active objects in a multiple object scenario, so as to avoid collisions in crowded areas.  Some of the largest have jump capability, but most do not and are used in-system.

! <span id="FC">Fleet Courier (TC)</span>
 
−
| A courier assigned to support naval operations.  Aside from fulfilling a communications role, they are also used to transport small, high-priority cargoes.
 
−
|- valign="top"
 
−
! <span id="ST">Ship Tender (TS)</span>
 
−
| The primary role of these vessels is maintenance and repair, although they may also have a replenishment role.  Larger tenders are equipped with large workshops, advanced tech labs for calibration, extensive multiple tool sets of every sort required to maintain and repair damaged ships, they can very nearly be called mobile shipyards.  Many, given time and components, can install or perform major repairs in the field. These tend to be lightly armored, unarmored, with only of sufficient maneuverability to keep up with the fleet- everything else is given over to the main mission of attending to the needs of damaged ships. Smaller tenders tend to be faster, and may be lightly armed and may be assigned to maintain groups of smaller vessels and navigational aids.

−
Auxiliaries linger on the fringes of the battle area and resupply the fighting ships with fuel, [[missile]]s, provisions, and other military materiel. Some Auxiliaries are designed to provide special services in the same role as supply ships and replenishers.
